    Ein wirklich tolles Spiel, das durch seine packende Geschichte und Witcher-typischen Humor auch heute noch begeistert!

    the control and combat system are a bit inconvenient, but the plot is great. It is clear that the game is made with soul.

    Долго не мог нормально начать играть и дропал игру из-за местной боевки, но чуть-чуть усилий и эта игра поглотила меня без остатка.

    I like the dialogues but gameplay itself is very clunky, especially combat and movement. The marshland is especially annoying because of nonsensical map limitations. The maps are small and limited, but seem bigger because there is no fast travel so you have to run a lot from A to B and to A again. The main story is meh, but like I said the dialogues are very well done.

    Its a good game, the engine and the combat is a little lackluster, the story and narrative is top notch.

    Very nice RPG game. I was playing in that game in 2021 - I did't have a chance to play earilier. Interesting plot. It was fun to finish that legendary game for the polish game dev scene

    Игра конечно устарела, но если вы осилите первые часы и привыкните к механике, то перед вами откроется шедевр!!! Атмосфера и музыка в этой части лучшая в серии. Короче 10/10

    Quite boring game. Everything is slow and ugly.
    Graphics are poor and grey. Most of the game is located in different sections of a city that always look the same.
    There are really few NPC and monster models, so you are always dealing with an NPC Clone Army. The scenario sections are so tiny, with lots of loading screens between sections, like accessing houses, caves, different sections    Quite boring game. Everything is slow and ugly.

    Combat lacks a lof of responsiveness. Lots of twirls but almost no feedback on hits, misses, criticals ...
    There are really few weapons and armor and most of them are given at end game. So you expend most of the time with the same gear. There are secondary weapons like daggers but are completely useless. I still not understand the logic behind this weapons.
    On the other side there are hundreds of crap materials that you are almost not using.
    Someone decided it was a good idea to have mission logs that take up half of your inventory. Exactly what you need, more crap in your inventory.

    Quests are super annoying. You need to do tasks in a specific and unknown hour with an NPC hidden into the clone army. Then NPCs have the ability to disappear of change its location during quests, so you expend a lot of time searching fro the specific place and time to find someone/something to progress.

    I save the story that's quite good.    … Expand

    Если бы не 2 DLC для третьего Ведьмака, то первая часть для меня была бы лучшей в серии без каких либо шуток или иронии это действительно очень недооцененная игра не только в серии, но и вообще в истории.
    CD Projekt любят вселенную Ведьмака и в первой части видно как много сил и души они вложили в неё.

    Muy buen juego, historia atrapante y bien escrita.
    El combate también es bueno pero tiene algunos errores, a veces el personaje se da vueltas innecesarias antes de empezar el ataque, lo cual es muy frustrante cuando estás peleando contra un grupo grande de enemigos.

    También preocúpense de mejorar su armadura apenas puedan.    … Expand

    SHORZZ / The Witcher: Enhanced Edition: The Witcher Game Series might be the most detailed RPG games you'll ever play. The reason is based on the books. Witcher (1), combat is very strange in our current system. It feels boring and awkward at first, but it gets more playable once you get used to it. Pretty good game with RPG elements. It was a good game for its time. Play and experience the game.

    Sorry for the low score. If I look at it objectively, I can see that the game is excellent. But I started playing this game only to experience the preceding story before replaying Witcher 3 for the 5th time. In 2023, I can't bring myself to continue with this game. I'm sure the story is amazing, but I lost it when I had to walk everywhere in the swamp. I played for 10 hours, but I realizedSorry for the low score.

    Great game. The time check was accurate. The main problem is in the combat system, which is incredibly tiring in the first 3 chapters. The plot and the choices are excellent. Perfect to play for everyone who has passed the 3rd witcher and who generally loves RPGs or the universe of the witcher.

    One of the most underrated games, mostly because of lower graphic quality and weird combat system. Nevertheless, game offers incredible storytelling and lore, and it's very easy to get caught up in game world

    Шедевр своего времени. Поставил девяточку, потому что игра устаревшая и некоторые механики в наше время могут отталкивать игроков. Хотелось бы увидеть ремейк.

    Просто великолепно. Сюжет, геймплей, атмосфера - джиниус щит. На минусы боевки можно смело ложить большой и толстый, привыкаешь спустя пару часов и застреваешь в этом мире душой и сердцем.

    The best aspect of this game is the side missions and the story. The weakest aspect is definitely the combat it's just too outdated. The lowest point for me was the fourth chapter it just drags for too long and it feels unnecessary the game would have been much better without it.

    The main adventure still has serious pacing problems, combat's still too easy for the most part, and load times -- though reduced -- continue to get in the way of the action.

    The new and improved package is increasingly attractive. There are still some rough edges, and moments of genuine drama are still undercut by how they're performed, but this is an agreeably driven RPG in an agreeably ornate package.

    Finally, The Witcher fulfills its potential, and, best of all, it's available as a free update, just in case you bought it anyway. [Nov 2008, p.110]
